Anyone going shooting tomorrow?

[Luke E.]

Very understandable. It's about 35-45 minutes for me as well but it's a nice drive once I get out of town. I love this range also because it kinda feels like I'm shooting at an old farm since it's up in the woods. Very relaxing. But my wife laughs when I say "I'm goin shootin for a couple of hours" since the drive there and back is almost that  :rofl:  She knows better!

 

 I can't ever go just for "a couple of hours", I end up talking with the lady in the office for an hour each time i'm there and if Grady (the owner) is there then I always make a little time to chat with him as well. They are good country folks and you'd be hard pressed to find folks that are any more kind than they are.

 Ruger, I talked to my friend that I helped pick out his pistol least Sunday and he said he is in for a bit of shooting this Sunday afternoon as well so i'll see ya there. My wife originally wanted to go, especially since she has her pistol back but it doesn't look like her hands are going to allow it. Her health has been really poor these last 3 months and at times has been almost bed ridden. We've had her at several doctors and specialist and none had been able to figure out whats wrong with her. I was quite scared because her symptoms pointed towards MS but I never mentioned that to her to try to keep moral from sinking any lower but we were running out of other options. She's probably only had 2 nights out of 3 months that she slept normally and the rest of the time I would wake up to her crying, moaning and even screaming while flopping all around but she would still be "asleep". Her joints at times just felt like they were dislocated and on fire and she's had little to no feeling in her hands and fingers for at least the past 2 months. Finally about 3- 3 1/2 weeks ago we got her into another specialist and he promised her that unlike the rest of the doctors she had already seen, he would not give up on her until he figured out what was wrong so he immediately started running tests. While I was in NYC he called with the results to some of the test and as it turns out she has an extremely severe vitamin D deficiency. I don't know much about medical units of measure but he said that you are suppose to have a vitamin D level of 45-50 and she just was at 5. We've got her on a super high prescription dose of vitamin D but the Dr. said it would likely be 2 months before her levels got back into a safe range where she would be able to feel somewhat normal again. It's a huge weight off of our shoulders just knowing what the problem is and that it can be resolved.

 Anyways now that I have written a novel, my point was that since she doesn't have any strength or feeling in her hands, she doesn't feel safe handling a firearm. She sure is excited to get everything back undr control so that we can hit the range!

Luke, glad you and and your buddy are going to make it. But I wish your wife a speedy recovery so she can go soon also. Glad y'all know it can be fixed, I'm sure it was stressful and probably still is. Nothing like a lil range time for self healing! Give her our best!

 Thanks

Anybody been to the range at Cheatham WMA lately? I haven't been in about a year, I would like to go this week. I still have a ziplock bag of old 70's .22 I scrounged up the other day i've been wanting to shoot up. I also want to shoot my handguns to get the rust off me.

I'm waiting until Monday. Got the day off and the range will be much less crowded.

Headed back out to the Corral today. Friends of ours are wanting to get their carry permits so we are taking them out for some practice. Of course I'm taking my AR
and the Rem 700 for a little group therapy as well. :up:
